please tell us some more how will these connect to the rest of the network, will one half be converted to subay or something? how is this gonna work? Is it compatibble with NAM? Will we have to load it after NAM?  Ever think of doing a ground highway with an elevated deck, that way off ramps and connectors won't be so high up in the air.   Just thought i would fire out a bunch a questions that i know we all have.  can't wait to see more.
Title: Re: Double decker highway
Post by: Fukuda on December 28, 2006, 04:08:04 PM
Well, Alek, I'm answering your questions:

1)I'm making some special interchanges, to connect normal highway to double-deck, and also parallel and perpendicular ramps
2) They are puzzle pieces fully compatible with NAM, of course
3)nope, the bottom deck must be elevated, I want to pass roads and streets under it  ;)

Title: Re: Double decker highway
Post by: toxicpiano on January 02, 2007, 05:39:54 AM
That is a way a lot of DD highways are built, and it saves a hell of a lot of space. I recall that seattles viaduct has one way on each level. I prefer it that way personally because it saves space, and that really is the point of a 2 decked highway.

Very kool stuff Fukuda.   This is really coming along great.   Now you just need some bridges and transition pieces.   Those will be the real challanging pieces.    I can't even begin to think how you did the highway itself, so the other stuff is completely alien to me.   #?¿?¿?$     Can't wait to see more soon.

 &apls Woo! Double deckers! I have a suggestion though. Can you make both levels more identifiable (like freeway markings), since it's a bit hard to distinguish which level is which (seeing as the freeways are grey on both levels). It's like looking at those optical illusion cubes--is it facing this way...or that?

*twilight zone theme*

That is all.

Yes, I agree with this. Pittsburgh has some of the greatest bridges anywhere in the world. I walked across Roberto Clemente Bridge to go the PNC Park last time I was in Pittsburgh.

Fukuda has been away from this project for a few months and is currently working on a steel mill. However, the NAM team has been developing dragable double decked RHW-4 pieces.

If you look back through the RHW thread there is some amazing stuff coming down the line.
